About this study

Official title: Effect of Endocrine Therapy Duration on Clinical Outcome of Patients With Hormone Receptor-positive Intraductal Carcinoma of the Breast: A Multicenter, Retrospective, Real-world Study

This study will investigate the relationship between the endocrine therapy and the survival of patients with hormone receptor positive intraductal carcinoma of the breast, and the optimal duration of medication. This study will also analyze the risk factors of recurrence and metastasis of hormone receptor positive intraductal carcinoma of the breast and establish a prognosis model to further clarify the specific reasons for recurrence and metastasis, adverse reactions, and drug withdrawal in patients with hormone receptor positive intraductal carcinoma of the breast after endocrine therapy.

Read the detailed description

Intraductal carcinoma of the breast accounts for 20% of newly diagnosed breast cancer. In addition to necessary surgical treatment, 5-year endocrine therapy is also essential for patients with hormone receptor positive ductal carcinoma of the breast. Commonly used drugs include selective estrogen receptor modulators (Tamoxifen, Toremifene) and aromatase inhibitors (Exemestane, Anastrozole, Letrozole). Although these drugs can effectively reduce the recurrence and metastasis of ductal carcinoma of the breast, the adverse reactions of the above drugs significantly reduce the quality of life and treatment compliance of the patients. Therefore, the choice of endocrine therapy for intraductal carcinoma of the breast has been widely discussed. Is it possible for de-escalation of endocrine treatment intensity to reduce adverse reactions and improve patient compliance? Recently, a phase 3 clinical trial found that compared with placebo group, the adverse reactions of Tamoxifen group treated with 5 mg/d (conventional dose 20 mg/d) Tamoxifen for 3 years had less adverse reactions and achieved significant efficacy. This study revealed the reliable efficacy and safety of Tamoxifen, a low-dose drug for treatment of hormone receptor positive intraductal carcinoma of the breast. However, little is reported on the reasonable duration of Aromatase inhibitors for endocrine therapy in patients with intraductal carcinoma of the breast.

This study will investigate the relationship between the endocrine therapy and the survival of patients with hormone receptor positive intraductal carcinoma of the breast, and the optimal duration of medication. This study will also analyze the risk factors of recurrence and metastasis of hormone receptor positive intraductal carcinoma of the breast and establish a prognosis model to further clarify the specific reasons for recurrence and metastasis, adverse reactions, and drug withdrawal in patients with hormone receptor positive intraductal carcinoma of the breast after endocrine therapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TamoxifenDrug

    20 mg/d, oral administration

  • ToremifeneDrug

    60 mg/d, oral administration

  • AnastrozoleDrug

    1 tablet (1 mg) per day, oral administration

  • LetrozoleDrug

    Adjuvant therapy with letrozole for 5 years or until the disease relapses. Patients who have received tamoxifen adjuvant therapy for 5 years should continue to take Letrozole until the disease relapses. The recommended dose of Letrozole tablets is one 2.5 mg tablet administered once a day, without regard to meals. For patients with advanced breast cancer, treatment with Letrozole should continue until tumor progression is confirmed. Patients with liver and/or renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance rate ≥ 10 mL/min) do not need to adjust the dosage.

  • ExemestaneDrug

    The recommended dose of Exemestane for adult and older patients with early and advanced breast cancer is one 25 mg tablet administered orally once a day after a meal. After 2-3 years of tamoxifen treatment, patients with early breast cancer should continue to use Tamoxifen in the case of no recurrence or contralateral breast cancer, until the completion of 5-year sequential adjuvant therapy with tamoxifen and exemestane. Patients with advanced breast cancer should continue to take Exemestane until the tumor progresses.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Disease-free survival up to 16 years

    Disease-free survival refers to the time from the first disease-free day (i.e. the operation day) to the day at which relevant event occurs.

    Measured: Time from the first disease-free day to the end of the last follow-up, assessed up to 16 years

  2. Invasive disease-free survival up to 16 years

    Invasive disease-free survival refers to the time from the first disease-free day (i.e. the operation day) to the day at which intraductal carcinoma of the breast recurs. The recurrent diseases include ipsilateral or contralateral breast cancer, local and distant recurrence of breast cancer, and death due to any reason.

    Measured: Time from the first disease-free day to the end of the last follow-up, assessed up to 16 years

  3. Distant disease-free survival up to 16 years

    Distant disease-free survival refers to the time from the first disease-free day (i.e. the operation day) to the day at which distant metastasis occurs.

    Measured: Time from the first disease-free day to the end of the last follow-up, assessed up to 16 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall survival up to 16 years

    Overall survival refers to the first disease-free day to the time of death caused by any reason.

    Measured: Time from the first disease-free day to the end of the last follow-up, assessed up to 16 years

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease-free survival up to 16 years (time frame: Time from the first disease-free day to the end of the last follow-up, assessed up to 16 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
